Purely Social @ Vier North

A modern tavern that honors Milwaukee’s rich history while offering a fresh, vibrant space to connect!

Located in the heart of Milwaukee’s East Side, Vier North brings new life to the former Vitucci’s tavern — a cornerstone of the community for more than 85 years. The name "Vier," meaning "four" in German, honors both the venue’s four co-owners and the area’s deep German roots. In a thoughtful nod to its past, Vier North preserves the iconic “V” from Vitucci’s, blending heritage with a bold, modern vision.

Following a full renovation, the space now features a sleek, open-concept design, retractable garage doors, a spacious patio. But wait there’s more…

Vier North is home to the longest recorded bar in the city measuring in at 78 feet!!

Guests are welcomed by a warm, contemporary atmosphere accented with vintage photos and touches that celebrate the venue’s legacy. The menu delivers elevated comfort food, from gourmet burgers to artisan pizzas, alongside a curated list of cocktails, local beers, and wine.

This is your chance to connect with Milwaukee’s dynamic professional community in a setting that perfectly mixes the city’s history with its future.

Bring a friend, meet someone new, and enjoy a night designed for connection

MMAC’s FUEL Milwaukee is the region’s premier talent network, helping professionals build meaningful connections, grow their careers, and fall in love with all Milwaukee has to offer.
